ricky's skating partners -

ellory peterson (sadie stanley)

ricky's first serious skating partnership. they started properly skating together when he was 14 and she was 13 years old. they went on to go to the olympics together when he was 16 and she was 15, after two years of seriously training together. they medaled bronze, but it was exceptionally close to being fourth place. they went to a few more invitationals together, but her family made a cross country move for her dad's job about five or so months after the olympics, after her 16th birthday, and right before ricky's 17th. they did cross some significant lines into romantic territory in those last two months she was in utah, though she'd had a crush on him for quite a while before, and she is pretty certainly his first girlfriend, whether they'd officially put that label on it or not. her leaving his life so soon into things definitely compounded his whole thing about his mom leaving... which is fun.

ava kincaid (sydney sweeney)

started skating with ricky when they were both 17, him freshly so, about a month after ellory left utah. this was supposed to be their plan going forward, working towards the next olympics around 3 and a half years down the line, if her former coach wasn't still poking her about her decision to stop skating singles... did she maybe specifically want to skate with ricky... possibly. there was a lot of talk about that for sure. was she serious about skating pairs... yes. but her coach was very disappointed she didn't want to stick it out skating alone despite her prior performances being good but not as great as they should be if she wants to really do this. she's a lot happier as a pairs skater, working with jenn and ricky... and they end up a couple after a good five or so months when a late night alone at the rink turns into eating pizza in the back seat of his car and a night he was glad his dad reminded him to always keep jumper cables in the trunk. she wasn't mad though- and pretending to be his girlfriend to get the guy who helped them jump the car to stop looking at her like that turned into a bit of a what if that put them on their way to something...

the reason their skating partnership ended right around two years in, was because of a few things- but if you were to be totally honest, it started when her ex boyfriend came back into the picture. he kissed her after his hockey game, and while ricky doesn't know the full story, he saw the photo on instagram before he heard it from her- and she had been pretty much his girlfriend for almost a year and a half at the time... they stopped seeing each other within a few days, because despite her telling him that he just caught her off guard she didn't kiss him... he knew she was kind of happy her ex had kissed her. and frankly he felt cheated regardless and didn't want to chance anything else happening. they skated together another month or two, but whether it's due to her then boyfriend's jealousy of her skating with him or her old coach getting extra pushy about her skating singles being better, she did go back to skating singles. at which point he had about a year and a half to the olympics to find and train with a new partner, after being so set with ava for two years already and planning on going with her...

emma williams (daniella perkins)

started skating together when he was 19 and she was 18. this partnership lasted about a month before she managed to end up with the blade of her skate in her leg ala the first episode of spinning out. they weren't skating together long enough for anything at all to really transpire between them. they'd just begun their partnership, and she had just moved to utah a few months before they paired up, so it wasn't like they knew each other. she's cool though, and had been a great singles skater at 16. unrelated to ricky, but she ends up doing commentary after she recovers from her injuries. speaks well of him when asked despite how briefly they skated together.

nini salazar-roberts ( @inspotlight )

started skating together when they were 19 years old, a year and a few months out from the next olympics. i could say so so many things about how emotionally tumultuous their partnership was to start, but they'd loved each other since they were sixteen and when they got it together and admitted it, they never looked back. they went on to win olympic gold together at 20 years old, after securing the two preceding nationals wins. they go on to medal at 3 more olympics after that, getting married in between, before she finds out she's pregnant with their baby. he does skate at one more olympics after this, but his skating partner is inconsequential by that point. nini is his partner in all things. and they get to bring their baby with them to the olympics to come see what brought them together in the first place which is amazing.
